Before Treliving got Hamilton there was still a massive gap between Brodie and any prospect. Wotherspoon might be a NHLer. Kulak? Culkin? Who knows? Still years off before Hickey, Andersen, or Kylington likely make the team.
Getting Dougie got the team a Dman in that under 23 group that we know can play and has top pairing potential.
Also at that time Brodie wasn't the Brodie we know today
